WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - The husband of U.S. Representative Mary Sattler Peltola died in a single-engine Piper PA-18 crash in Alaska, her office and U.S. agencies said Wednesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the plane crashed shortly after takeoff near St. Mary's, Alaska, around 8:45 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Sept. 12.
Only Peltola's husband, who was the pilot, was on board.
Senator Ted Stevens and three others died in a 2010 plane crash in Alaska.
